David Meldrum's Reviews > To Kill the Truth

A blisteringly enjoyable thriller, which in one sense tells a wildly implausible story - a plot to destroy all the knowledge held in libraries and the like - but is also chillingly contemporary. Building on the very thinly disguised Trumpian context of To Kill The President, this is a page-turner for the fake news era, and trumpets the need to keep telling the true stories of the past to inform the present. Despite its implausibility, this only becomes a problem in the epilogue, which is a bit too neat in making everything all right again.
